WASHINGTON (AP) - Investigators are probing whether the Obama administration divulged too many details of the secret raid on Osama bin Laden to Hollywood filmmakers.
Rep. Peter King, who heads the House Homeland Security Committee, has questioned how much information was shared about the U.S. special operations mission in Pakistan that killed the al-Qaida leader in May. King on Thursday released a December letter from the Pentagon saying that the inspector general's office covering intelligence matters "will address actions taken by Department of Defense personnel related to the release of information to the filmmakers."
King, R-N.Y., also released a November letter from the CIA saying that its office of public affairs was developing a "single point of reference that will govern future interactions with the entertainment industry."
King has expressed worries about the administration's cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. and Kathryn Bigelow, director of the Oscar-winning picture "The Hurt Locker," who is working on a movie about the hunt for bin Laden. In August King wrote the inspectors general of the Pentagon and CIA noting a New York Times column saying that Sony and Bigelow had been given "top-level access to the most classified mission in history."

GOP Rep Calls for Pentagon Probe Over Cooperation With Hollywood Movie About bin Laden Raid--
IT TAKES A SCUMBAG TO CAPTIALIZE ON THIS FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES--AND ON THE HEELS OF OUR LOSING SO MANY BRAVE MEN!
A movie about Navy SEAL Team 6′s hunt for—and killing of—Osama bin Laden is well underway, and the creative team behind The Hurt Locker (which took 2009′s Best Picture Oscar and five other golden statues) is heading up production on the yet-untitled flick. It’s the buzz of Hollywood. But the buzz in Washington appears to be an “alleged collaboration,” as Homeland chief Peter King put it, between the filmmakers and the Pentagon, White House, and CIA—and it’s generating some odd plot twists.
